How I did it
How to watch Scream 1-3
It took me
1 day
It made me
school-girl giddy


How to have a yard sale
It took me
1 day
It made me
poop money


How to clean up the back porch
It took me
1 day
It made me
happier than dirt

Fini

We got the kids ipods this year. We spent way too much money, because ipods are small and we had to get other things too, but buying the ipods really put me in the Christmas mood. I can’t wait for them to open the ipods, because it’s what they really want and we’ve been saying all year that we simply can’t afford it. This will be a total surprise, but the good kind!

Done

Did this a little backwards. We saved money for the heat and bills, so we could use current funds to pay for Christmas. But I consider this done.



Complete another Room Temperature project (read all 3 entries…)
Still working on stuff

A lot has happened since April of 2008 (my last entry). Some of the songs we worked on are abandoned, but a few have survived.
We were both busy these few years, and hadn’t really been able to get together much.
At the beginning of the year, we came together – 2 brothers with acoustic guitars! We played 5 new songs (3 of mine, 2 of his) and worked them out. I think we have enough material to do another project, we just need to find the time to practice and then record. I do have some accoustic recordings of this session, which are fun to listen to, although unfinished.
I think we’ve mostly abandoned the “guest musician on every song” idea, but who knows what might happen.
We still have that 1 song recorded, but we want to re-record the lead vocals, so nothing is really finished.
In the meantime, I’ve put together a collection of old Room Temperature songs – stuff we rejected for our other projects. I want to get a package together and give this to some people. I just need to do the printing / cutting, and that’s hard to find the time to do (or the money).
